A Circular New York City Subway Map To Straighten Things Out

Posted by timothy on from the now-go-help-charlie-get-off-the-mta dept.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "The U.K.'s Max Roberts, a mapmaker and critic, has created a map that sees this problem and then solves it by adopting a similar distortion strategy to the MTA map, but to a far greater degree. The map heads in the direction of a diagram and away from a map representing features. It may be the most lucid reinterpretation of the New York City subway map I've seen yet."

    I predict that this will die a quiet death. No one in the MTA would risk taking an idea from someone who clearly isn't a Ney Yorker. How one earth could a stinking limey understand NYC's transport problems?
    Quick turn the clock back to 1776 and consign this map to the East River pronto!
